Katy Perry, devastated by her "failed" marriage, is receiving comfort and support from an unlikely source—her ex. Not Russell brand, her ex-boyfriend whom she dated before she met the rubber-faced Arthur star.
Katy Perry's ex-beau, Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy, has been a supportive and sympathetic friend following her break-up with Russell Brand. McCoy says he understands what Katy is going through, and he's trying to help her get through this traumatic period in her life. That's an incredibly generous attitude since he and Katy were once hot and heavy back in the day, circa 2008-2009. Then their relationship fell apart.
"There will always be a connection between us, I'll always be there for her," explained McCoy. "When you've been in a relationship like ours, you will always make time for that person. Katy was there for me through my hard times when things were really bad."
Obviously, McCoy and Katy Perry kept in touch after their break-up. However, unlike many former lovers who claim they're still friends, Brand and McCoy really are. "Life goes on," McCoy continued. "I have regrets about the way things ended, but there are no grudges anymore. I'll always be there for her, she knows that."
As for why things didn't work out between his ex girlfriend and her soon-to-be-ex-husband, Russell Brand, McCoy has his theories about that as well. "Do I think she got married to Russell too fast?" he added. "When you're feeling it, you're feeling it. You can't help how you feel."
So, there you have it. It's good that Katy Perry has a such a good friend to help her through these difficult times. On the other hand, if, as the rumor mill suggests, her marriage to and divorce from Russell Brand was just a cleverly executed publicity stunt for both parties, it's good she has Travie McCoy to help the devious couple perpetuate the deception.
